Price list for 2021
Findata’s prices are based on decree 1168/2020 of the Ministry of Social Affairs and Health on charges for work carried out by the health and social data permit authority Findata.
Apart from the remote access environment, the service prices pertain to actions under public law that are based on cost value (VAT 0%). The remote access environment services, however, are commercially priced services subject to a fee (VAT +24%).
We reserve the right to change the prices for the remote access environment if changes take place to the procurement costs for the remote access environment independently of Findata’s operations.
